High impact information on Bin1

  • We also provide evidence to suggest that the action of the self-inhibitory domain requires a Drosophila co-factor(s), other than CtBP or dSAP18 [1].
  • The GAGA factor of Drosophila interacts with SAP18, a Sin3-associated polypeptide [2].
  • Sap18 is required for the maternal gene bicoid to direct anterior patterning in Drosophila melanogaster [3].
  • These sap18 mutant embryos fail to repress hb expression, and show reduced anterior cap expression of the labral determinant cap 'n' collar [3].
  • Drosophila Enhancer of zeste protein interacts with dSAP18 [4].
 

Biological context of Bin1

 

Physical interactions of Bin1

  • These results suggest a model in which dSAP18 interacts with Bicoid to silence expression of Bicoid target genes in the anterior tip of the embryo [5].
  • Here we also show that dSAP18 forms a complex with the Drosophila homolog of pinin (dPnn), a protein factor involved in mRNA splicing. dSAP18-dPnn interaction was confirmed in vivo, through co-immunoprecipitation experiments, as well as in vitro, through GST pull-down assays [6].
 

Other interactions of Bin1

  • Bin1 is similar to a human protein (SAP18) involved in transcription regulation, and Bin3, described in this paper, is similar to a family of protein methyltransferases that modify RNA-binding proteins [7].
  • The first 245 residues of GAGA, including the POZ domain, are necessary and sufficient to bind dSAP18 [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Bin1

  • Co-immunoprecipitation experiments provide evidence for in vivo association of E(Z) and dSAP18 [4].
  • Gel filtration analysis of embryo nuclear extracts shows that dSAP18 is present in native protein complexes ranging from approximately 1100 to approximately 450 kDa in molecular mass [4].
